Born and raised in Russia, in the steppes of the Southern Ural.
Until the age of 18 I lived in the small town of Orsk, where I graduated from high school and fine arts school.
At the age of 18 I moved to live in the central city of the region, Orenburg, where I entered the Orenburg State University to specialize in graphic design. This period of my life was rich in wonderful teachers and masters. Therefore, all my free time from studies I spent in sculpture and printing workshops. During this time I participated in many exhibitions and projects of the University and the Union of Artists of Orenburg and worked in various spheres of fine arts from creation of expositions to scientific activity.
After 5 years of study, a year before graduation, I was expelled from the institute (not for the first time) because of my periodic confrontations against the corrupt and bureaucratic features of education.
Classes of graphic art and sculpture led me at 22 to study the culture of tattooing, which I am professionally engaged in to this day.
At the age of 25 I received a higher education in Moscow Academy, specializing in "environmental design" (the Academy does not exist today because of the same peculiarities of education).
At the age of 29 I was admitted to the Union of Artists of Russia.
From 30 to 33 lived and created in Crimea.
Since 33 years I have been living in India.
